I drove to Georiga (From Michigan) to pick up this 2005 V8 Sport. It had 187K miles on it. Not bad for this year! It is also pretty clean in terms of rust. The Frame had some on it but nothing to be worried about. A wire wheel and only 15minutes of work and She is Tight!

I really like the look of it now! Who knows I might sell it......

This is a fun build and I enjoy building things that the Big companies want way too much money for!

I'm curious what did you pay and how many miles on it? If you don't mind.


HDHP

Sure man. I'm in SC if that helps. It's got 217k miles. The 4Lo / CDL isn't engaging and the rear driver's side door cladding was ripped off (I have a replacement/clips already). On the plus side. It's got a recent timing belt/water pump replacement, a super nice alpine 9 inch head unit, and some offroad goodies that all would amount to around the price I paid anyways (ARB deluxe front bumper, smitty 10k lb winch, lights, roof rack, mild lift). *edit: the frame has also been sprayed with a rust inhibitor stuff which I'm not familiar with because I'm in the south, but it looks great.

With all of this known going into it, I paid $5k for it.

I'm fairly mechanically inclined so I am betting on myself being able to remedy the 4LO/CDL problems *fingers crossed* along with a few other quirks and turn this into a solid DD.

Dam that sounds like a Great Price!

Do you have any pics? Start a new thread...


HDHP

OH, I forgot to let you all know I did do the rear brakes on it too.


HDHP

Shes beautiful. Cant wait to see more.

The grille actually looks good and so do the paint on the body beside the scuff on front bumper. I like the black out look on silver more than I do on white for some reason.

Great looking truck - congrats!

Thanks! The front bumper will be replaced by a new eBay bumper. Also, I had a sleeper/drawer set up in my 2010 F150 the 5.4L motor took a shit @ 103K miles so I sold the truck and kep the sleeper set-up and now I am doing some cutting and mods to it and use it in my 4Runner. I think it will turn out awesome! I will post pics of it when I am finished!

I Built a bed storage system for my 2010 F150. When I sold the truck I keep it. I knew that with some minor cuts and mods it would fit into my 2005 4Runner. I know what you are going to say. "That's too thin it will not last" or "It will fall apart" Well I had this in the F150 for 3 years and 40K+ miles and it is fine!
Anyways here it is installed in my 4Runner. It is about 99% complete and I like it!! Oh, yea the left drawer handle is a little crooked. Too many Wobbly Pops! Lol, Don't worry I fixed it.
